But it's puzzling. I could swear I've heard the "lingers in your mind" line, and it certainly scans, but where did it come from? It wasn't in Irving Berlin's 1919 version, in "The Great Ziegfield," and it isn't in any version of the lyrics I can find online or on YouTube. (After Pat Boone I couldn't take any more, admittedly.) Do you know the source?
